Basic Dinner Date Etiquette To Keep In Mind When Out On A Date With Her

Eating is a natural phenomenon. We need food to survive and relish and like a lot of natural instinctive things men will always gorge on food on an autopilot, when it's right in front of them. Well, it's all cool if you're stuffing your face with pizza with your boys and acting unruly while on the PS4 but when you're out dining a lady, we suggest you be a gentleman and treat the meal you're gonna have with her like the event of a lifetime. So it's best you pay attention to a few deets and live to share the tale of how your table manners and etiquettes impressed the bejesus outta her.

1. Pull out the chair for her and seat her down before you sit down yourself. Women just don't find this chivalrous but attentive as well.

4. Always take an average sized helping of whatever you've ordered. If you take a lot in you're plate and shove it down your throat, not only will that be piggish but how will you ever have a conversation with a whole lotta food in your mouth?

5. Don't forget to use that serviette. It's there for a purpose right? Make use of it. Best is to place it on your lap, whenever your order comes in.

6. Do your knife and fork placement homework well in advance. Nothing is more bizarre than you stumbling about with your knife and fork held in the wrong hand. Also, make sure you use them, if the food calls for it.

7. Of course, this one's a classic and most men forget in usual banter. Don't eat with your mouth full of food. It's disgusting and she really doesn't need to see the tiny morsels of chicken sprouting out from your mouth whilst you talk! Oh, also, stop talking with your mouth full. Chew, swallow and then continue the conversation.

8. Take it easy on the onion and garlic intake. We mean, it's just for a night and we're sure you can keep away from a smelly breath. Just in case you can't resist that fish in garlic butter with a side of onions, always have Listerine strips ready, at your disposal!

10. Cardinal rule- keep your elbows off the table! It's something we're taught in grooming school and if you missed out no this, we're telling you now. Also don't stretch about to get something from her end of the table. Ask her for it politely and you shall have it. (Works for mostly everything in life!)

13. Well, here's a tricky one. Who pays for the meal? Definitely take your wallet out, whenever the bill comes to the table. If she reaches out for her purse, then she definitely wants to go dutch. If she offers to pay, ask her if she would like to go dutch. If she doesn't reach out for her wallet, you pay. Simple.

14. Don't get drunk on your first drink, for crying out loud! This will make her a wee bit uncomfortable. Unless of course you both decide to go a bit overboard with your wine, don't be a sole survivor here, you probably won't hear from her or else.

See, aren't these simple and easy do's and don't to remember? All you have to do is make a lady feel special when she's out with you, even at the dinner table. Who knows you might get lucky for a second date, even with a piece of spinach stuck between your teeth the entire night.
